On today’s Friday Nooner, GrepBeat Godfather Joe Colopy and his co-host Melissa Crosby (who was good enough to beam in remotely despite being on the tail end of a bout with Covid) started off by chatting a bit about the tragic vespa heist that took place outside GrepBeat HQ earlier this week. They also discussed the State Fair and the bizarrely accepted practice of spending more money to win a gigantic stuffed animal than one would buying one directly.
Yours truly jumped in for a brief update on all things GrepBeat.com, which this week included the Monday Mix, the latest episode of In The Soup, features on Hyperspace Ventures and ECPC Travel, and event coverage for both CED’s 40th Birthday Bash and The Launch Place’s 12th annual Big Launch Challenge.
After that we got to the highlight of the episode as Joe and Melissa were joined by Jay Bigelow, the Head of Founder Engagement at CED. Fresh off CED’s aforementioned birthday bash, Jay discussed how the 40-year milestone applied not only to CED but to the entrepreneur community as a whole. Accordingly, he delivered a lot of interesting insights on how (and why) things have evolved over the years.
